Phoenix

SS undefined

Phoenixes are powerful, bird-like fire elementals summoned by mages. They burn with such intensity that they damage both themselves and nearby enemies. When a phoenix dies, it creates an egg that will hatch into a new phoenix. The phoenix is the most powerful spell able to be cast by a potent blood mage.

While fire hatchings are born from the ashes of a phoenix, dark hatchlings emerge from their shadows. Phoenixes grow very slowly; a phoenix hatchling obtained from the Magisters' Terrace during the invasion of Outland was still a hatchling by the end of the Fourth War.

There are also molten phoenixes on the Dragon Isles. Some act as carrion birds, others are tamed by the djaradin. They do leave a smoldering feather behind once killed, before rising again.

The phoenix is a natural predator of the Elemental Plane. The wondrous bird is about 18 feet long with a sleek, feathered body that dances with bright flames. Its colorful feathers range from yellow to orange to red. A crest of spiky feathers runs down the center of its back, and its wingspan stretches out 30 feet. From birth to death, it spends its life hunting through the air - in fact, it lacks any legs that might enable it to land. Even after death it often rises again from its own ashes to continue the hunt.

The phoenix is a fearless, aggressive predator of aerial prey. Its only direct form is a vicious bite, but the secondary damage from its flaming aura and ability to burn help to bring down its prey quickly. A phoenix prefers to attack from above and behind with surprise, but follows up its initial attack by remaining close to burn its victims while continuing to strike with its beak.

Summon phoenix is a unique spell that Kael developed to summon fire elementals. It is similar to other summon monster spells, except it can only summon fire elementals. Kael invariably uses it to summon phoenixes, hence its name.

• Skyhorn Windcallers use the ability Arrow of the Phoenix.
• Alodi, the first Guardian of Tirisfal, rode a phoenix mount.
• Kael'thas Sunstrider was the most notable blood mage capable of summoning phoenixes. His beloved pet, Al'ar, was known as "the Phoenix God".
• The hatchlings of Al'ar take flight immediately after birth.
• Jeron Emberfall has also demonstrated the ability to summon them.
• It is customary for new recruits of the Twilight's Hammer to be sent on a difficult or sometimes impossible task. One year the instructors demanded a feather from a phoenix.
• The pandaren phoenixes strongly resemble the fire phoenixes.
• The firehawks of alternate Draenor can create phoenixes. Using the Amulet of Rukhmar, Sol-Shaper Krivin can transform into a phoenix known as the Aspect of Rukhmar.
• The idea of a creature rising from its own ashes also symbolizes the blood elves who rose from the ashes of the high elven ruins of Quel'Thalas. Thus, the phoenix serves as an essential symbol of the blood elf race, found on their flags, banners, tabards, and racial crest.
• While fire hawks are common, the only known phoenix related to the Firelands is Blazewing.
